Friday is our regular race night, so we decided to do a Concours for the PanAmerica Proxy cars and on Saturday
we ran all the cars on the Hillclimb just for fun. Here are the best times. Each car was run at least three
times at 9 volts and I videotaped the second run of each car, so the times in the video may not match the
car's best run. Don M was the driver, consistently one of the top 4 guys on the Hillclimb.

This is great! Wow, absolutely superb driving, love it rally style drifting.

That little Osca MT-4 in second positon on the hillclimb..............?!! WOW!

The best part was watching shotgundave's little VW roof-racked beetle charging up (and down) the hill! :handgestures-thumbup: :handgestures-thumbup:

Certainly no shame in coming in second to Shotgun's superb looking VW in the concourse... We're thrilled! ....how do they keep the luggage from flying off that thing anyway? Great video of the hill climb event and yes, excellent driving! ...but, I'm sure Alejandro must have wet himself in the passenger seat of the number 14 car...

Val

Hey I want the model holding the 3rd place flag....!!!
Congrats to the Concours and Hillclimb podium finishers. It is always interesting to see how cars perform on the hill.
Aloha

Thanks for the qualifying effort. I see my Gift Card chassis made 6th. Nice to see it still has legs after all this time.

Are you guys going to be doing the Targa this year?

Thanks for the run Gentleman. Looks like the #33 has lost its pace. Great to see the Retro Racer cars up front and you can never count out the 149. The race should be tons of fun.

We're going to run the cars tomorrow (Sunday)

One of our local guys would like to run the cars on his wood track as well, if that's OK with you guys. If not, can you let me know where to send the cars next?
Thanks
Luf

Hi Luf, we're all looking forward to seeing the race tomorrow at your New Targa track! Always a treat to have our cars run on the Targa!

To keep on schedule as much as possible, I'd like to have you send the cars to Dariusz in Edmonton after you finish you're Round. I PM'd you his shipping address just now. These cars have been away from their builders for about 8 months now, so we'd like to get Dariusz's Round and Bob Chapman's Round run and in the books so that I can return the cars. Thanks.

Allan

WOW that is an amazing track! I wonder if the passenger spilled her Coke in the 113!

Thanks for running this Round, Luf and, Alwyn, thanks for posting the results and for your usual excellent analysis of the data.

Congrats to Mitch58, our dear departed friend, Keith and chrisguyw on their podium finishes! :text-bravo: :text-bravo: :text-bravo:

Great to be able to have a Round run on the famous New Targa; always a thrill to see the cars running on this track!

Thanks again!

Allan

Wow, that was a surprise, my old Vette must like that track. Thanks for the run guys, looking forward to the video. Of course I like all of the videos from that and previous tracks.
